Under the Gym . . . What Things May Come . . .

The first question that comes to mind is, why do the gym walls at Hebiura Elementary School need to be held up with flying buttresses? Oh, wait, the place is like a century old.The second question that crosses one’s mind is why are there baby foxes living under the gymnasium floor? Six of them! I have to admit that I have never seen baby foxes before. Maybe we will have some bear cubs move in next? The students' response to discovering the new residents was pretty cute: "please, teacher, we need to stop practicing taiko (drum) in the gym. It will disturb the baby foxes' sleep!"
